What to know about manual to electric conversion in Paisley
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Options we can specify
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

Your questions answered
Do you cover Paisley?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Paisley and the PA1 district, as part of our coverage across Renfrewshire & Inverclyde.
Do I need an electrician?
The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
